So far five miniature (not toy) poodles have been graced my livf over the years. One at a time, the one now is well and nearly 10 years of age. It seems the life space is usually about 16 or so years, baring accidents. Makes me hope for more years for their time.. I do not want to have another one and not live long enough for it to have a great life, too. The senior to senior dog/cat program is a good idea. It is hard to lose a loved one. Everytime!

Then Laugh
Build for yourself a strong box,
Fashion each part with care;
When it's strong as your hand can make it,
Put all your troubles there;
Hide there all thought of your failures,
And each bitter cup that you quaff;
Lock all your heartaches within it,
Then sit on the lid and laugh.
Tell no one else its contents,
Never its secrets share;
When you've dropped in your care and worry
Keep them forever there;
Hide them from sight so completely
That the world will never dream half;
Fasten the strong box securely-
Then sit on the lid and laugh.

Have a wonderful thankful Thursday, everyone!

Disappointing Heroes August 28, 2015
Think carefully about this Jesus whom we declare to be Gods messenger and High Priest.
Hebrews 3:1 nlt
A recent book that puts a fictional flavor on a slice of US history portrays Old West gunslingers Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday as shiftless bums. In an interview with National Public Radio, the author said of the real Earp, He didnt do anything remarkable his whole life, ever. Through the years, in books and Hollywood movies, theyve become heroes. Yet reputable historical accounts show that they were not.
In contrast, the Bible is full of flawed people who became real heroes. But dont lose sight of the vital source of their heroic actions. The object of their faith was God, who chooses flawed human beings for His remarkable purposes.
As biblical heroes go, Moses stands tall. We tend to forget that he was a murderer and a reluctant leader who once directed a rant at God: Why are you treating me, your servant, so harshly? he demanded. What did I do to deserve the burden of all these people? Did I give birth to them? (Num. 11:11-12 nlt).
How very human of Moses! And yet Hebrews reminds us: Moses was certainly faithful in Gods house as a servant. His work was an illustration of the truths God would reveal later (Heb. 3:5 nlt).
Real heroes point to the Hero who never disappoints. Jesus deserves far more glory than Moses (v. 3 nlt).
Lord, thank You for being the only Hero we can rely on without fail. Help us not to conceal our flaws and mistakes, but to give them to You. We trust You to use us for Your good purpose.
Looking for someone who wont disappoint you? Look to Jesus.
The book of Hebrews was written to encourage Jewish Christians who were facing persecution and hardship for their faith and who were now in danger of drifting away and reverting back to Judaism. The writer warns them against abandoning Christ (2:1-3; 3:7-15; 6:4-6; 10:26-31) and presents the absolute supremacy and sufficiency of Jesus as Savior. Jesus is superior to the angels (chs. 12), to Moses (chs. 34), and to the Aaronic priesthood (chs. 57), and He is the perfect High Priest (chs. 810). In todays passage Moses is compared with Christ. While Moses was one of Gods most faithful servants, Jesus is far greater than Moses because Jesus is Gods Son (vv. 5-6). Sim Kay Tee
